Sheffield
Sheffield is a city steeped in football history – the world’s oldest football club is from the Steel City, while Bramall Lane hosted the first ever floodlit football match.

The reigning champions Netherlands kick-off their title defence in front of a primetime Saturday night audience and they could hardly have asked for a tougher start against a Sweden side currently ranked second in the world and fresh from winning silver at the Tokyo Olympics.

It’s also an extreme sports hotspot where you can water-ski and wakeboard, find the UK’s longest indoor real-snow ski and boarding slope, and visit the home of Red Bull Racing.
The much-vaunted group of death will be played out at Stadium MK in front of a potential 30,000 fans. Only two can progress from Spain, Germany, Finland and Denmark in Group B. And three of the crucial fixtures can be seen at the home of MK Dons. Finland are the underdogs in Group B but they would love nothing more than toppling their Scandinavian neighbours in Milton Keynes on Matchday 2.

The good-natured rivalry should make for a friendly atmosphere at Stadium MK and the 5pm kick-off for two of the games makes these ideal games to gather together the mums, dads, sons and daughters from your youth football team or community club for a summer catch-up.
